Father Gene believes that there are many components that go into a relationship to create a happy marriage. Love, Honor, and Obey. Obey? Obedience doesn’t mean, “Do as you’re told.” Obedience in marriage means listening to the heart of your partner. In order to love someone, and in order to honor someone, one has to listen to them.
